Rewards on Distance are terrible

So I see less than 3 star fragments and epic gear I won't use early on. Then some real chump hero tokens I also won't use. Then for the end which I won't reach I see epic fragments. If I were a killer player like @capletonor@DLich I'd be miffed at no leg components being offered. At least drop in 10 phones or something we can use. I'll still play but golly NG come on.Turn that dial up a few clicks. Not very exciting from where I sit.

For real, the last stretch should be legendary fragments and components. Get rid of the uncommon crap at the beginning and make those rare, make the current rares epic, and make the current epics legendary. The epic gear is pretty lame too. It's easy to get but for lower level players I think having legendary gear there would be a nice reward. I also think Aaron tokens should be made available earlier for the same reason.

@Shteevie Is this true? There are no legendary badge fragments or components? I'm level 17 right now. So I haven't unlocked The Distance yet. BUT....where The Distance is located on the missions screen, it says Unlock The Distance at Council Level 18....and also...AND ALSO.... There is a picture of a LEGENDARY fragment, with 5 stars and also a logo of EQUIPMENT...with 5 stars.....can you explain this please??? Are there really no legendary fragments, components or equipment???

@TheDarkSoda - There hasn't been any Legendary Frags or Components offered as rewards yet. Might change in the future though hopefully. To be fair, in each of the Challenge sessions so far there definitely has been both Legendary Armor and Legendary Weapons as rewards.

I am flattered to be considered a “killer” player but I am definitely not one lol. My pb is 1063. Mainly because I refuse to spend any gold on healing. I will admit, knowledge of the gameplay and stats and “data” is my fortay but I have neither the desire nor the means to be a beast in this game.

With that being said the rewards could be better. 4 badges a week (2 rare and 2 uncommon) and 2 pieces of epic gear aren’t so bad.

My only gripe is that each week it’s being made purposefully harder and harder by adding things to it so players can’t beat it. I get it though, they thought we couldn’t beat it, we did, so now it’s made harder and harder each week to compensate.

As much as I wish the rewards were better, for minimal gas I’m getting at least 2 epic items and 4 badges (even if they aren’t the best rarity) along with some xp and tokens. I made it to mission 12/21.

Two sides:
The rewards for average group of players are good - if they could make it until the blue fragments.

But the rewards for the top 1% player that where the intended group to beat the distance initially (in a few month or never) are terrible.
I mean when I have 10 pink survivors why the heck should I want 75 rick tokens ?

Obviously time will tell, but personally I play the distance on Tuesday as it's normally an off day (I don't like farming and I don't play Outpost very much), but I only do so until it gets stupidly hard, at which point I bow out. Now, that might seem like what this game mode was intended to do, but I want to be clear - I have zero motivation to spend money or time levelling up my survivors to beat the Distance. The reward vs. effort to do so is simply completely out of sync.
